This website is really amazing and very helpful. I have practised exam 1 – 15 and read a book ( Life in the UK Test, Study Guide). Passed my exam in first attempt and took only a few minutes to finish it. Just be confident and Good Luck. I have made a contribution. Please donate what you can, so, that it can continue to help the people in the future. Thank you very much Life in UK test website. Highly recommended 👍🏼

Thanks for running this site and maintaining it. My wife and I followed the comments on this site and also recommendation from a friend. We practised the tests 1-15 and took our test this morning in Belfast, Northern Ireland and passed it with ease.

Really appreciate this and thanks once again. The test took only 12-15 mins.

Passed today ! finished in 2-3 minutes.
All the questions were from this amazing website.
Thank you very much for helping me pass my test .
Highly recommended to practice Exam 1-15 on this website for a guaranteed pass,

Alhamdulillah, just passed life in the uk.Very easy, within 2 minutes finished all answers. Exams 1-14 are more than enough for preparation. None any single question was out of tgose 14 exams. Thanks this website.

Without this website I would not have passed the life in the uk test. I had bought the book to read but nothing sank in especially the historical dates. But going through exam 1-14 on this website was good. I would encourage people to practise exam 1 – 14 until you get 100% on each question. That way, you will pass the test. I sat mine today in Birmingham. I took 5 minutes to complete.

Passed my life in th Uk test today in Leicester. I read the book 3 times (just to be 100% confident) and this website was so helpful to practice. All the questions in the test were actually from this website. Thank you for creating this website

Passed my test yesterday at the Croydon center thanks to this website, It was very useful a very big thank you . This was my third time taking the test, read the book and downloaded the life in the UK test app on my phone and still failed my test twice.
Good luck to everyone taking the test

Me and my husband passed the test today in Ilford centre. The questions were from exams 1-14. I would recommend a read through the study materials as it’s very well explained rather than reading the book.
Good luck everyone and many thanks to this website.

Thank you so much to this website helped me passed the LIFE IN UK TEST in first go I practiced 3 times a day for 1 week. Took me 3 mins to complete the test was very easy I would highly recommend this website for practice. Tips do not panic, read questions properly to make sure you understand do not rush, question can be a bit tricky but simple to our knowledge. Highly recommend doing it for 1 whole week constantly before undertaking the test.

I’m British born and passed the test but apart from the sport question I feel slightly embarrassed about the ones I got wrong. I have absolutely no interest in sport so I’d never get any sport question right. As for the comments about history not being relevant I think that’s really sad. If we don’t know our own history there’s an awful lot we won’t understand about modern Britain. That said I do think some of the questions need a rethink.

I had my test today. It was very easy, however, not all the questions were from the exam 1-12. I have practised tests 1-40 and it helped me a lot. Practise as much as you can and you will def pass the test. I didn’t read the book, i just went through tests till I got 90% right. If you can do tests from 1-40 then you will pass the test.

A very big thank you to the wonderful team that put up this web to help a lot of anxious people preparing for the exam.
i passed with minutes in lewisham centre, practicing the exams 1 to 12 was very helpful. Good luck to all applying.

I did all the exam tests thoroughly (over 15 times) and passed my test without any problems (I actually finished in about a minute) – I never read the book (I bought it, just never got around to reading it). I’m pretty sure I got 100% of the answers right thanks to this website – I am not great when it comes to pub quizzes or general knowledge. The only question on my test that was not in the exams was ‘what field is Adam Smith’s work in’ and the answer is ‘economics’.

I should say that I did a bit of work on the app and another website about a month before my test, but this website has the pool of question that they use in the actual test.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions, but my advice is to do all the exams till you’re getting 100% on all of them.

Make sure you learn the names of the patron saints and their days, as well as the number of people in each assembly.

I have passed today, all the questions were very easy took about 2 mins. Don’t confuse yourself by reading the knowledge book.
Exams 1 to 12 should be enough to get your pass percentage required but to be on the safe side just practice the rest too.

I’ve just passed my test now thanks to this website. Amazing work, great help (donation will follow later today). I was 100% sure of 23 questions, 1 was unsure about.
All questions were from 10 exams.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi, just passed it today. Fantastic site. Studied all 40 test plus 10 exams. I was 100% sure I responded corectly for 23 questions, only one I did not see on this site which I do not remember exactly but it was about young people – who can question them ? Thanks again for authors of this site. Will donate and good luck for everybody having the exams to come.

I passed my test at Stratford today. I am grateful to have known about this website. A big thank you to each and everyone who work really hard to put this together. I studied for a week on the exams 1-10 , no study materials nor 1-40 tests after l saw some testimonies and emphasis that it’s better to concentrate on the exams only. I am the happiest woman today all the hard has paid off. Good luck to each and everyone of you who will be going for their tests…

I passed my test some three weeks ago and must say that although they do not tell you the pass mark, I was confident that I answered all the questions correctly. I also studied the book which I enjoyed and learnt a tremendous amount. I believe everyone should study the book because you do not know what question you may have as they are chosen randomly.

I also did all the online test from this site a few times and it has been a great advantage. I finished my test in less than 3 minutes but also did a recheck as sometimes silly mistakes can be made by reading the question incorrectly.

Awesome website (I did my test 4 hours ago), all my questions were from Exams 1-10. Just to be safe do the 40 test questions too.Good luck all 🙂

Some of the question i remember are

1) Patron saint of England
2) Youth judiciaries in England, wales and northern ireland
3) when did women 21, get the rite to vote
4) A question about Nelson and Trafalgar
5) A question about an enviroment charity – friend of earth
6) a question about what you’re expected as a citizen
7) A question about forced marriage
8) Scottish notes are acepted everywhere in the UK
9) King alfred and vikings

Hello Everyone,
Today I passed my test and I want say big thanks to this website owner. All questions were from EXAM 1-10 and I finished my test in 6 minutes. Good luck to everyone. keep practising from this website. Thanks

Hi everyone! Passed my test today within five minutes! Questions were all from this site very easy with revision. All you have to do is just practice and practice and practice all the questions and the ten exams. Good luck to everyone about to do their test. And thank you to the people running this wonderful website. It’s simply the best!

I passed my test today. This website is very good. I would recommend to practice these tests in order to pass exam. I would advise to read all questions with understanding ( not only remembering answers) as on real test questions might be worded differently. My other advice is to get your head round all these names of sports people, authors, main battles, voting system, and definitely main brithish inventions.

Great resource, passed my test quite comfortably, questions were really quite simple. You don’t need a history degree to pass but do need to do some revision. Test exams cover most questions if only worded differently. This website is very good as a revision site, I found the whole process quite interesting as I have learnt a lot of interesting facts. Thanks again.

Hi guys! Does this test expire? My application is next year in August but I feel like taking the test soon probably within the next two months. Will it still be ok for my application? Or I’m rushing it? Thanks in advance.

I passed the test today. All the questions were straightforward. No questions on sports, movies, artists, poets at all. There was question about naming the 2 Houses in the War of Roses – which is Lancaster and York. Name the 2 houses in parliament – which are House of Common and House of Lords.

Only 1 question relates to year – when were men and women were allowed to vote at 21. One question which I did not get right – this was what is the name of the card you get before an election telling you where and when the election is going to be held. The correct answer is the polling card (I picked election card in the exam, which is wrong)

Many thanks to this fantastic website for its test papers and reassuring comments from previous test takers. We are a family of four and all of us cleared in the first go. Papers were a lot simpler than we thought. I got only couple of questions related to dates. It is important to go through the entire study material and then do all the tests given here.

I wanted to thank the people who worked so hard to make it easy for US. I Just passed my test all the Information are in these practice questions and some questions are just copy and paste. I do practice before my Exam all the 40 Exams in here and when I went to the test centre it took me 2 Min to finish the test. Thanks so much ?? perfect, the people who did this great work should be So proud of themselves.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project. I passed my test today. Even that they don’t give you an exact percentage, I know I had 100%. Done my test within two and a half minute. Questions looked like the ones in here. This was the only website i was practicing on and I am very pleased with my result. Good luck to anyone who has this ahead. 🙂

I passed my test today (20/6/17). I did read the book but have to conclude that if you work your way through all the tests on this excellent website, you have a very good chance of passing first time (like I did). Just do 3 to 5 tests every morning or so whilst having your breakfast and et voilà! — I mean Bob’s your uncle 🙂 The only True/False question I can recall that I don’t think is on here is: “There are bishops in the house of lords” (= True). Keep it up guys!

I passed the test today!!! I want thank you for this helpfull web site. I had all my studies true here, and i really enjoy it. Im very proud to become British Citizenship. Thank you again to help all of us 🙂

Thanks so much for founders of this website. It’s been super helpful for me to pass the test yesterday on the first attempt. The questions are very similar but you need to read a book as well to understand it better as some of them are a bit different. Congratulations to everyone who’s passed the test and good luck to those who are about to take it. Best
